Thursday-Feb.10th

Thursday-Feb.10^th  -  This morning as we were having breakfast we learned that Tabu had a little girl about 2:00 a.m.

We all went into town.  Kim and Faye went to the market for fruits and vegetables, and to the store for staple goods.  They also purchased gifts for the new baby.  Tim and I borrowed a vehicle from Munna.  He is an Asian and a good friend to Tim and Kim.  We made several stops in town, including a stop to see the Toyota Prado that he looked at last night.  He wanted to see it in the day time.  Much to his disappointment the vehicle was no longer in town.  In the meantime, Tim is trying to find out how much the duty would be on the car before agreeing to purchase it.  Please make this a matter of prayer!

Since we were all in town I agreed to buy lunch at Tabora Hotel.  Afterward we took Kim and Faye home and Tim and I took the car back to Munna.  We also made a stop at the bank to exchange some money, and headed home.

This is Faye – Kim and I walked up to Tabu's home to see the baby.  She is so precious.  They named her Margaret Asha.  She was named after the lady that George works for and they live on their compound. George and Tabu have another little girl.  She is about 3 years old. Her name is Peri (pronounced Peli).  She is a beautiful little girl too. They were very appreciative of the gifts.  We left Bill and Tim home reading.  When we returned Tim was asleep and Bill was still reading.  He is on his third book since we have been here.

I almost forgot to tell you that after 3 games of Scrabble last night Tim and I are tied now with 3 games each.

Dr. Ruth, from the clinic, dropped by for a couple of hours.  She needed to unwind and vent her frustrations.  She is a single lady and has no one at home to talk to so she comes to Tim and Kim.  Some of the employees at the clinic are troubling her.        

Good night!
